Outside Looking In During the last two concerts in our auditorium, a group of our students on the outside of tin- building have made a childish spectacle of themselves Rather than puri-hase tickets as a large number of their fellow-students did, they have stood on the outside and peered shamelessly into the window".

Letter To Editor

Dear Editor. For many years students have .,<".i rightfully complaining about tl.e great cost of text books; and this year the cost lias been higher than ever before. I wonder if something couldn't be done to reduce the cost? Couldn't .something be done to help students it rid of books they no longer need, and to help students buy second-hand books? At some the unreasonablely high cost ol colleges, the Book Store sells sectnd hand books as well as new i i.es: and at the end of the year :t buys the books, which are no longer needed, from students. This greatly 1 educed the cost. This iyiton worked very well In the colwhich 1 attended before 1 rame to S. T.
